Juan Antonio Sarió, José María Piró, Ángel López and Pablo Valderas and the new Segunda Nacional signing, goalkeeper
Juan Carlos Chueca are the red-and-white academy players who will take part in pre-season with the Asobal team.
Of these five players, two have already had the opportunity to play minutes in the Liga Asobal. They are the left-back and junior international
Juan Antonio Sarió (1998), and the right-back,
José María Piró(1997).
The new arrival is goalkeeper
Juan Carlos Chueca(1996), who completed his entire development at Valencia's prolific Calasanz academy before playing last season for CHM Benimaclet, a team coached by former red-and-white player Alberto Estornell, and securing promotion to Primera Nacional. Juan Carlos Chueca is an investment by Segunda Nacional manager Juanma Lozano, who coached him at Colegio Calasanz.
These three players are expected to hold Asobal licences from the start of the season.
As for
Ángel López (1996), the left-back from the Segunda Nacional team, this will be his second pre-season with the Asobal team, and Patxi Martí is counting on the young player to fully integrate into the first team's training routine.
Pablo
Valderas, the oldest of them all (1991), is backed by both sporting director Antonio Sarió and manager Patxí Martí. He is a player who switched from basketball to handball only three years ago, but his 2.00-metre height, almost 100 kg weight and good coordination give him a great future, particularly as a central defender.
These five players are the spearhead of the Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto academy, which grows season after season, to the point where it has four players being called up by the Spanish Handball Federation. In addition to the aforementioned
Juan Antonio Sarió, the cadet players called up are
Marcos Aguilella and
Oscar Garcia as well as the infant player
Victor Luján who is currently in Soria with the best players born in 2001.
